Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0 P200 (2021): Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change
The 2.0 Ingenium (P200) turbocharged gasoline engine uses 0W-20 oil that meets the JLR specification. Total capacity with the filter is about 7 L (7.4 qt). The filter here is a cartridge type: the replaceable element sits in a housing on the upper part of the engine, so you reach it from above, while the oil drains from below through the oil pan plug. The change interval is usually at least once a year or every 15,000 km, and more often if the vehicle is used mostly in city driving and on short trips.

Step by step
12 steps- Warm the engine up to operating temperature (5-10 minutes), shut it off and wait 5 minutes so the oil drains down into the pan. Do not work on a hot engine without gloves: the oil and the exhaust components are very hot.
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and secure it on a lift or over an inspection pit. Never use a jack without stands.
- Open the hood and remove the decorative engine cover if it blocks access to the oil filter housing. Wipe the area around the housing so dirt does not get inside.
- Remove the lower engine undertray (if fitted) to reach the oil pan drain plug.
- Place the drain pan under the plug, remove the plug and drain the oil completely (about 10-15 minutes). Remove the oil filler cap so the oil drains faster.
- Unscrew the oil filter housing cap from the top and remove the replaceable element together with the cap. Place rags or a pan underneath: the remaining oil drains out of the housing.
- Remove the old sealing rings from the cap, install the new filter element and the new rings from the kit. Lightly lubricate the rings with clean oil and thread the cap in without cross-threading. Tightening torque: per the manufacturer's specification, approximately 20-30 N·m (15-22 lb-ft); do not overtighten the plastic cap.
- Clean the drain plug seating surface, install a new sealing washer and tighten the plug. Tightening torque: approximately 20-30 N·m (15-22 lb-ft) (check the exact value in the manufacturer's specification); the threads are in an aluminum oil pan, so do not strip them.
- Using a funnel, pour in about 6.5 L (6.9 qt) of 0W-20 oil, wait a couple of minutes and check the level with the dipstick or through the on-board computer. Top up to the mark without exceeding the maximum; total capacity with the filter is about 7 L (7.4 qt).
- Start the engine for 1-2 minutes (the oil pressure light should go out immediately), shut it off, wait 5 minutes and recheck the level. Inspect the drain plug and the filter cap for leaks.
- Reinstall the engine undertray and the decorative cover. Reset the service interval indicator through the instrument cluster menu.
- Take the used oil and filter to a recycling collection point. Do not pour them down the drain or onto the ground.
Common mistakes and warnings
- Use only oil that meets the JLR specification for this engine (0W-20 STJLR.03.5006): incorrect viscosity or approval can harm the timing chain and the turbocharger
- Do not fill the oil above the maximum mark
- If the filter cap is loosely tightened or the sealing ring is damaged, it can leak and cause oil starvation in the engine, so after the change be sure to check the level and make sure there are no leaks
- If you lack experience or do not have a lift, it is better to go to a repair shop
